Thanks, And it doesnt overheat to those of you thinking it would. It actually is better ventilated there than under the seat.

Here's the bass ****. Under the cup holder and in the little storage area. It pops right and is really easy to install. Extremely convenient as well.







I moved the amp out a little in order to show it. Still hangs out a bit but I rarely have anyone in the back.

Really? I ran 3 amps behind the rear seat in my Lincoln pickup for 4 yrs without a hiccup... Alpine PDX series. 1 1000watt, and 2 4 x 150 watts....

Ouch.... I would never do that

Man, a lot of your posts are straight retarded...U never go full retard, cmon bro.

My system was around 5 large with the sound deadening, processor, monitors everywhere etc...Lasted 4 years without a hiccup...at full volume like 90& of the time. U can also find hundreds of others that installed amps in the same spot...so quit talking out your ***.

Ok bud, after about 25 min my amp gets soo hot I can't touch it, there running 2 600watt rms which i run about 800 rms, , yah I'm talking out of my ***, my system would blow yours out of the water, bud I would never put something that gets that hot behind my seat, alright how is that talking outta my pass, that pdx is a tiny amp, I can see why but I have a mrd an a mrp, and the mrp don't work no more cause my buddy borrowed it and guess where he put it.... BEHIND THE SEAT!

I've gone to audio shops and theve said the same thing why would you put something that gets hot in a place that can't vent... If anything I'd say your retarded.... Duurrrrr

No need for name calling guys, it's an opinion and your own point of view. I just don't want mine behind the seat because I don't want to have to take my seat out just to tune my amp if I want to play with it from time to time, sure it might not be as "safe" or look as neat, but it doesn't look bad at all in 06F150CFCT's picture and is also easily accessible. My question is how are the wires run out of the back of your amp, do they go under the carpet or just under the mat or what? If you could take the time to explain how they are ran and why you ran them that way, I'd appreciate it a lot. Thanks in advance everyone for their opinions.

alright lets see of i can remember this correctly...
so i ran the wires from the battery to the amp through the firewall aboves the pedals in a hole that was pre-existing...then down the drivers side floor panels that are just clipped in( door sill panels on the ground). i routed them under the drivers seat on the side (you can see maybe two inches of red and blue wire if you knew what you were looking for). i also used a ground connection under the door sill panels which was almost exactly the max length the suggested a ground cable should be for my amp. so then i ran the rca inputs and my bass remote controller through the same pathway as the power cable. through the door sills on the drivers side, up over the pedals and into the headunit. I had to buy a special rca input converter for my ford navigation as they dont have rca jacks. i spliced the converter into the speaker wires coming off of the 16pin harness and voila. i then attached the amp remote turn on wire to the radio power on which is the 12v live source i believer that turns on with the key.
so now from the amp under the seats i routed the subwoofer power cables under the rear drivers side door sill and back to the rear seats where the sub box is. connected the wires under the seats to the sub box and it was good to go.
The only cutting i did of the carpet was under the drivers seat and thats where i put all the cords through so they could all run under the door sills along with all the factory wiring. it really wasnt that bad at all and the worst part for me was trying to correctly wire the rca converter. haha. stupid green and brown wire (+) with light blue/yellow (+)...so many random color combinations for the stock wires.

sorry for this being so detailed and lengthy but i dont mind helping others out as i was once on my computer trying to find all this stuff out at one point too.
ill see if i can get any helpful photos in the morning that might be better than my ramblings.

oh and i almost forgot. i ran the wires that way because it seemed like the easiest and cleanest looking way to do it. if i had to do it again id run all the wires the exact same and wouldnt change a thing...the only thing i might've changed is to take out the spare tire jack and crap and put in a box for 2 12's instead of 1..haha. mine still sounds great though. im happy with it...and everything only cost me a little under $500. with all kicker brand stuff. running 475 watts.
